The Nightmare Elk! Back in downtown Portland Wednesday Aug 12th for the first time in a while. A gathering is planned for 9 PM. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter ImageImageImage
Some new additions to the city. A mobile command center on top of city hall and what looks like a satellite tower across the street. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter ImageImageImageImage
Apparently the satellite looking thing is an prexisting weather beacon. On the other hand, I cannot load tweets or open links right now. It shows I have four bars of data, but can do a lot of stuff. Image
About 250 people in the vicinity currently. Cell signal is still on and off for me. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter
A lot of what’s called “peace policing” type speeches going on right now. Some comments about the need for “law and order.”
The crowd size has increased to about 400. People still mostly standing around and listening to speeches/chanting. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter
Folks moving more to the federal courthouse. The Sacred Fence still stands. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter
Green 4 standing by. (My ballistic helmet is broken so @45thabsurdist lent me one of their x-wing helmets) Image
A pig head with a police hat is set on fire in the street. A Trump 2020 flag gets tossed in. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Small fire set in the courtyard. A few fireworks have also gone off. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong Image
We got a leafblower here. It reads “Point Towards Tyranny” #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong ImageImage
LRAD is here.
LRAD saying criminal activity such as fireworks and fire setting near the courthouse must stop now. No unlawful assembly declared yet. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Looks like there is a shift change going on at the Justice Center. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Unlawful Assembly declared, orders to leave north and west. Threats of teargas and all the other regular stuff. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The crowd makes a turn, officers follow. Cops keep pushing protesters and press even though it’s impossible to move forward at times. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Portland Police assault and arrest someone that has fallen down. A smoke grenade is deployed. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
I’m about ten minutes behind in uploading footage, but for a timely update- a riot has just been declared. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The crowd turned north. Police try and fail to chase two people down. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
An officer shoves someone that tries to pick up a smoke grenade. Other officers get pulled by into the line. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Another bull rush, multiple people knocked over. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Officers used stun grenades then got milkshakeed. I did not get the milkshaking but you can see the after math and the cops defend against water bottles. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
A cop throws a stun grenade into a crowd of people then the police rush forward again, using smoke grenades along the way. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The police keep their distance from their own smoke. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The milkshaked officer pointing their riot gun at random people. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong ImageImageImageImage
At this point the police declared a riot, threw some smoke, and drove off. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The protesters marched back to Justice Center where riot cops awaited them. Teargas shot into the air. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Near the beginning of tonight’s teargassing via the Portland Police Bureau. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Lots of different types of teargas canisters tonight. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
Chapman Park is throughly teargassed, also the surrounding streets. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
As the office pressure westward, they rip the tires of a medic truck. Also pushing journalists trying to do their job. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The cops shoot teargas at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
A police riot line is formed at the end of the concert hall. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
After forming a riot line, Portland Police and Oregon State Police head out. You get a good look at all the veichles they’ve been using tonight. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong
The ripped tires on the Timbers Army medic truck. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong ImageImageImageImage

My dissection of Lady Ballers is finally out!

In this thread I’ll share some not so fun facts about the movie and screen caps from my pirated copy.
A picture of a basketball in a blonde wig with pink bow and text above in a cursive font that reads ladyballers with the two Ls being a cherry stem
The movie is directed, written, produced, and starring the Daily Wire's CEO Jeremy Boreing as a former high school basketball coach, pictured below with a horrible Tony Stark goatee. picture of jeremy in a locker room with slicked back dark hair and a trimmed goatee.
Matt Walsh plays a woke hippie liberal who has cucked Jeremy Boreing.

Walsh isn't a great actor, black hole of charisma. He can only do deadpan delivery so watching him play a sincere hippie leftist is just uncanny... Jeremy plays the most divorced man, which he pulls off ok.

yard signs that read 'in this house we believe crickets are delicious, silence is violence, speech is also violence, no one is illegal but Europeans coming to America was bad, guns dont kill people white people kill people... also guns kill people, trans rights are human rights, feelings dont care about your facts, pride month is every month, social credit scores matter, in exclusive inclusion, the earth is literally going to burst into flames any day'

Massive police presence in the area, crowd is sticking to the sidewalk for now. Flyers that reads demanded ...
People took the streets after marching on the sidewalk. In response the police set up a riot line a few blocks ahead, next to a building with Stop Cop City messages projected on the side. After briefly facing down the police riot line the march moved back onto the sidewalk.
Hundreds of Stop Cop City protesters have arrived at the Atlanta Police Foundation headquarters. A few dozen officers stand in front, some holding AR style rifles. The situation is tense. The people are simply staring down the cops and chanting on the sidewalk. Dozen armored officers stan...Picture of a downtown tower...

At this protest in downtown Atlanta. Around 300 people are currently gathered here holding signs, sharing stories of Tortuguita. I’m mostly recording audio, but will provide some written updates here. Flyer that reads On January...
After a small scuffle with PSL there is now a large march heading north in downtown. Banners at the front that read “They Can’t Kill Us All” and “Trees Give Life, Police Take It.” Lots of “Stop Cop City” chants & “Not One More.” Current chant “If they build it, we will burn it.”
Protesters hit the Atlanta Police Foundation headquarters and a few banks in the area with fireworks and broken windows. Two cop cars had their windows smashed, and then tons of Atlanta police officers arrived from multiple directions. At least a dozen arrests so far.
